Ooblets (Switch) Review
I grew up playing a lot of Pokemon games. As such, the Monster-Catching genre has always appealed to me. In that same vein, I spent a lot of time in my youth watching my mom play farming sims like Harvest Moon. When…

Beacon Pines (Switch) Review
Sometimes what you see, isn’t always what you get. Beacon Pines caught me by surprise in this very way. However, sometimes getting something different than what you thought you were getting isn’t a bad thing. Beacon Pines defied my expectations, and in…
Gerda: A Flame in Winter (Switch) Review
It isn’t often that I find myself playing games set during World War II. This is mostly because I am not interested in games that glorify the violence of the period, like certain large franchises that I won’t name. I also tend…

Anno Mutationem (Switch) Review
Up until the last Steam Summer Sale, Anno Mutationem was a game I’d looked at, but hadn’t checked out. I played the PC version after getting it on sale but having it on Switch was too good of an idea to pass…
Hokko Life (Switch) Review
I covered Hokko Life back in June of 2021 when it launched in Early Access. Upon its announcement, and since that preview, I’ve been curious to see how the game would shape up as it neared a 1.0 release. Now that Hokko…
